F 0580 back from the hospital with orders for dressing changes and antibiotics. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety During a telephone interview on 04/16/25 at 1:33 PM, LVN C stated she worked with Resident #1. She stated she did not remember seeing staples to his incision site but did remember it being glued shut. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 04/16/25 at 2:09 PM, the DON was asked how Resident #1's incision could have dehisced in February (2025) if there was no opening, she stated that was not possible. She stated he went back to the clinic for a follow-up on 01/12/25 and again did not return with any new orders nor was she notified he had his staples removed. She stated if Resident #1 had sutures after his procedure, she would have expected him to have orders to monitor the site for signs and symptoms of infection, and she was not aware if there had been an actual opening. During a telephone interview on 04/16/25 at 3:30 PM, LVN B stated she had recently started working at the facility when Resident #1 had his procedure for the pain stimulator. She stated she remembered he had staples closing the incision on his back. She stated she remembered he began having a lot of bloody drainage and they had to start covering it with a dressing. During an observation and interview on 05/02/25 at 10:42 AM revealed Resident #1 watching television in his room. He stated he did not remember if the nurses were checking his surgical sites after the staples were removed. His incision sites were intact with no redness or swelling. He stated he remembered a for a few days before he was sent to the hospital (02/11/25), the sites felt sore, but he thought it was just part of the process. He stated he could not see the incisions so he could not tell if anything else was going on, but he knew they were not completely healed yet. He stated on the day he was sent out to the hospital, CNA F was giving him a bed bath and he saw some blood coming out of one of the incisions. He stated he got the nurse came and pushed on it and told him blood and pus were coming out. He stated he was sent to the hospital and was prescribed antibiotics. During a phone interview on 05/02/25 at 11:08 AM, LVN A stated she worked with Resident #1 on 02/10/25 and 02/11/25. She stated days leading up to the day the site had drainage (on 02/11/25), the sites looked like they were healing, and she had no concerns. She stated the day prior (02/10/25), CNA F informed her that the sites appeared swollen. She stated she assessed them, notified ADON G, who told her she would look at it in the morning with the NP. She stated she did not remember if she documented it. She stated Resident #1 was not complaining of pain just that they felt a little tender. She stated the following day (02/11/25), CNA F was giving him a bed bath and when he rolled him on his side, one of the sites (the one on the left, closer to his buttocks) began leaking. She stated CNA F came and informed her and she went to assess and saw what looked to be a pinhole to the site draining pus and blood. She stated she applied pressure with gauze and sent him to the ER. During an interview on 05/02/25 at 11:17 AM, ADON H stated she was also the WCN at the facility. She stated she primarily covered the 200 hall and ADON G covered the 100 hall, but she provided wound care for the whole facility. She stated if a resident had a procedure that required a surgical incision, she and the NP would assess the surgical sites. She stated neither she nor the NP ever assessed his surgical sites because they had not been communicated to about the procedure. She stated it was her expectations she be notified of any skin integrity issues, including surgical incision sites. She stated the facility did contract with an outside WCD, but she only followed some residents. She stated they decided collectively as a nursing team who should be followed by the WCD.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few after his procedure in January (2025), one on his spine (which was bigger) and one on his left side close to his buttocks. He stated after the procedure he had a lot of staples but was not sure how many. He stated the incision sites looked fine until 02/10/25 when they appeared swollen, and Resident #1 complained of them feeling tender/sore. He stated he informed LVN A and assumed she had passed it on to the doctor. He stated the follow day, he was giving Resident #1 a bed bath and when he turned him on his side, the incision on his left side started dripping, and that was when he went and got LVN A. He stated when LVN A assessed it, the incision opened a little bit and started oozing much more. He stated the opening was bigger than a pinhole. During a telephone interview on 05/02/25 at 12:02 PM, ADON G stated she over-saw the 100 hall (the hall Resident #1 resided on). She stated if a wound was brought to her attention and ADON H was not there, she would do the assessment. She stated she was aware of Resident #1's procedure and thought ADON H knew about it. She stated the admitting nurse after the procedure should have notified ADON H. She stated she never assessed or saw the incisions and did not know what they looked like. She stated if there was a change with the incision sites, her expectation would be for the nurse to notify the WCN and NP. She stated a change could be redness, warmth, drainage, or swelling. She stated she was never informed Resident #1's incision sites had become swollen on 02/10/25. She stated she would have expected to have been notified so she could also follow-up with the WCN and NP. During a telephone interview on 05/02/25 at 12:19 PM, Resident #1's NP stated she did lay eyes on his surgical incisions right after the procedure (on 01/07/25). She stated she pulled off the dressing and noted the staples and that they did not show any signs of infection. She stated she was not notified of swelling to the sites on 02/10/25 but she her expectation was that she was notified with any change for with any resident. She stated if she had been notified, she would have assessed the sites, ordered labs, notified the clinic of where he got the procedure done, and would have started Rocephin (antibiotic) temporarily. She stated if the incision sites had been completely healed, she could not image they could dehisce, but anything was possible. During an interview on 05/02/25 at 1:01 PM, RN E stated she worked the day shift with Resident #1 and was not working when his incision site opened (it happened during the night shift). She stated she was not notified or aware if there was any swelling to the sites (on 02/10/25). She stated if she had been notified, she would have notified the NP immediately. She stated swelling could indicate infection, pus, or leakage. She stated nurses could not determine if a wound or surgical site was healed, it had to be the NP or MD. During an interview on 05/02/25 at 1:23 PM, the DON stated usually a physician was who determined a site was healed. She stated normally the WCN will clear it and then the NP or physician would follow-up. She stated she was not notified the day before Resident #1 was sent to the hospital (on 02/11/25) that his surgical sites were swollen. She stated she did not always expect to be notified. She would expect the nurses to follow up with the NP. She stated swelling to an incision site was natural. She stated if the sites were healed and was swollen a week later, she would think maybe something happened like his body was rejecting the pain stimulator or there could be other factors that would warrant a concern. When asked if a healed wound could dehisce, she stated, His (Resident #1) surgical site? I do not know anything about that. During a telephone interview on 05/02/25 at 4:07 PM, LVN D stated she did not remember if she completed a skin assessment on 01/26/25 for Resident #1, but if her name was on it, she completed it. She stated if she documented the surgical sites were healed, that was what she thought. She could not answer if a nurse was able to determine if a wound/surgical site was healed.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few nor was she notified he had his staples removed. She stated if Resident #1 had sutures after his procedure, she would have expected him to have orders to monitor the site for signs and symptoms of infection, and she was not aware if there had been an actual opening. During a telephone interview on 04/16/25 at 3:30 PM, LVN B stated she had recently started working at the facility when Resident #1 had his procedure for the pain stimulator. She stated she remembered he had staples closing the incision on his back. She stated she remembered he began having a lot of bloody drainage and they had to start covering it with a dressing. During an observation and interview on 05/02/25 at 10:42 AM revealed Resident #1 watching television in his room. He stated he did not remember if the nurses were checking his surgical sites after the staples were removed. His incision sites were intact with no redness or swelling. He stated he remembered a for a few days before he was sent to the hospital (02/11/25), the sites felt sore, but he thought it was just part of the process. He stated he could not see the incisions so he could not tell if anything else was going on, but he knew they were not completely healed yet. He stated on the day he was sent out to the hospital, CNA F was giving him a bed bath and he saw some blood coming out of one of the incisions. He stated he got the nurse came and pushed on it and told him blood and pus were coming out. He stated he was sent to the hospital and was prescribed antibiotics. During a phone interview on 05/02/25 at 11:08 AM, LVN A stated she worked with Resident #1 on 02/10/25 and 02/11/25. She stated days leading up to the day the site had drainage (on 02/11/25), the sites looked like they were healing, and she had no concerns. She stated the day prior (02/10/25), CNA F informed her that the sites appeared swollen. She stated she assessed them, notified ADON G, who told her she would look at it in the morning with the NP. She stated she did not remember if she documented it. She stated Resident #1 was not complaining of pain just that they felt a little tender. She stated the following day (02/11/25), CNA F was giving him a bed bath and when he rolled him on his side, one of the sites (the one on the left, closer to his buttocks) began leaking. She stated CNA F came and informed her and she went to assess and saw what looked to be a pinhole to the site draining pus and blood. She stated she applied pressure with gauze and sent him to the ER. During an interview on 05/02/25 at 11:17 AM, ADON H stated she was also the WCN at the facility. She stated she primarily covered the 200 hall and ADON G covered the 100 hall, but she provided wound care for the whole facility. She stated if a resident had a procedure that required a surgical incision, she and the NP would assess the surgical sites. She stated neither she nor the NP ever assessed his surgical sites because they had not been communicated to about the procedure. She stated it was her expectations she be notified of any skin integrity issues, including surgical incision sites. She stated the facility did contract with an outside WCD, but she only followed some residents. She stated they decided collectively as a nursing team who should be followed by the WCD. During a telephone interview on 05/02/25 at 11:42 AM, CNA F stated Resident #1 had two incisions after his procedure in January (2025), one on his spine (which was bigger) and one on his left side close to his buttocks. He stated after the procedure he had a lot of staples but was not sure how many. He stated the incision sites looked fine until 02/10/25 when they appeared swollen, and Resident #1 complained of them feeling tender/sore. He stated he informed LVN A and assumed she had passed it on to the doctor. He stated the follow day, he was giving Resident #1 a bed bath and when he turned him on his side, the incision on his left side started dripping, and that was when he went and got LVN A. He stated when LVN A assessed it, the incision opened a little bit and started oozing much more. He stated the opening was bigger than a pinhole.

She stated if a wound was brought to her attention and ADON H was not there, she would do the assessment. She stated she was aware of Resident #1's procedure and thought ADON H knew about it. She stated the admitting nurse after the procedure should have notified ADON H. She stated she never assessed or saw the incisions and did not know what they looked like. She stated if there was a change with the incision sites, her expectation would be for the nurse to notify the WCN and NP. She stated a change could be redness, warmth, drainage, or swelling. She stated she was never informed Resident #1's incision sites had become swollen on 02/10/25. She stated she would have expected to have been notified so she could also follow-up with the WCN and NP. During a telephone interview on 05/02/25 at 12:19 PM, Resident #1's NP stated she did lay eyes on his surgical incisions right after the procedure (on 01/07/25). She stated she pulled off the dressing and noted the staples and that they did not show any signs of infection. She stated she was not notified of swelling to the sites on 02/10/25 but she her expectation was that she was notified with any change for with any resident. She stated if she had been notified, she would have assessed the sites, ordered labs, notified the clinic of where he got the procedure done, and would have started Rocephin (antibiotic) temporarily. She stated if the incision sites had been completely healed, she could not image they could dehisce, but anything was possible. During an interview on 05/02/25 at 1:01 PM, RN E stated she worked the day shift with Resident #1 and was not working when his incision site opened (it happened during the night shift). She stated she was not notified or aware if there was any swelling to the sites (on 02/10/25). She stated if she had been notified, she would have notified the NP immediately. She stated swelling could indicate infection, pus, or leakage. She stated nurses could not determine if a wound or surgical site was healed, it had to be the NP or MD. During an interview on 05/02/25 at 1:23 PM, the DON stated usually a physician was who determined a site was healed. She stated normally the WCN will clear it and then the NP or physician would follow-up. She stated she was not notified the day before Resident #1 was sent to the hospital (on 02/11/25) that his surgical sites were swollen. She stated she did not always expect to be notified. She would expect the nurses to follow up with the NP. She stated swelling to an incision site was natural. She stated if the sites were healed and was swollen a week later, she would think maybe something happened like his body was rejecting the pain stimulator or there could be other factors that would warrant a concern. When asked if a healed wound could dehisce, she stated, His (Resident #1) surgical site? I do not know anything about that. During a telephone interview on 05/02/25 at 4:07 PM, LVN D stated she did not remember if she completed a skin assessment on 01/26/25 for Resident #1, but if her name was on it, she completed it. She stated if she documented the surgical sites were healed, that was what she thought. She could not answer if a nurse was able to determine if a wound/surgical site was healed.
